Qi Rou'er, who was determined in her heart to get back this face, immediately helped Geng Xuan up, and the two walked outside Jinxiu Zhai.

With Geng Xuan's temperament, he wanted to turn around and say a few harsh words, but remembering that the beating just now was because of a few words of swearing, he shut his mouth immediately, and walked away despondently with Qi Rou'er's support.

??

The troublemaker left, there was no excitement here, and the crowd naturally dispersed.

After there was no time for a cup of tea, there were only Zhu Song and the others in Jinxiu Zhai, and the two young ladies of Jinxiu Zhai.

But in a short period of time, the four little guys have gotten to know each other well, the elder brother is taller and the younger sister is short, Zhu Song's eyes are straightened.

"Uncle Song and Sister Yue'er said that her family's Jinxiu Zhai has branches in other prefectures of our Ming Dynasty, and they can earn a lot of money every year. It's amazing!"

Seeing Zhu Song and Ming Lin standing there in a daze, without speaking to each other, Zhu Huixun felt as if he had neglected his Uncle Song, and hurried over to make a point.

"You kid opens his hands all the time, and opens his mouth when he eats, so why do you need to envy others?" Zhu Song touched Zhu Huixun's little head, and said with a smile: "And don't forget, your father's house is also real. Mountains of gold and silver!"

"Sister, younger brother Xun and younger brother Xuan invited me to play in Yingtian Mansion!" At this time, Xiao Yue'er also walked over slowly, holding Minglin's slender hand, and said shyly.

"Okay, let's go to Yingtian Mansion to play after we finish dealing with today's affairs, shall we?" Ming Lin pampered Xiaoyue'er's tender cheeks and said.

"Okay!" Yue'er smiled sweetly, the grievance just now had long since disappeared from her little face.

"Young master rescued Minglin today, and Minglin hasn't asked you his name yet!" Minglin turned to look at Zhu Song, as if suddenly remembering, and said, "By the way, the little girl's surname is Song, and her name is Minglin!"

"Song Minglin, what a good name!" Zhu Song nodded and said, "My surname is Zhu, and my single name is the word Song!"

Zhu Song!

Song Minglin's bright eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she said, "You...you, are you really His Royal Highness King Han?"

Zhu Song rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile: "With my king's reputation, I'm afraid no one is willing to pretend to be my king!"

"what?"

Song Minglin reflected, and hurriedly saluted Zhu Song: "Little girl Song Minglin, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Han!"

"Miss Minglin, hurry up and excuse me!" Zhu Song leaned over to help Song Minglin, and said, "I came to Jiaxing today, just for fun. Although the king is not a gentleman, he will definitely not allow Geng Xuan to do evil!"

"His Royal Highness's name has long been known in Jiaxing, but it is by no means an infamy, but a good name!"

Song Minglin lowered her head, glanced at Zhu Song stealthily, and blushed slightly: "People say that His Highness the King of Han is a rare literary master in the world. ! In this Jiaxing mansion, I don’t know how many young ladies who are waiting to be married want to marry you!"

ha?

Zhu Song opened his mouth slightly, and said in his heart: Brother has become a public lover now?I haven't done anything yet, why are there so many fans!

But right now we can't be complacent, low-key, low-key!

Although he was happy in his heart, Zhu Song still looked indifferent on the surface, and said: "Miss Minglin was joking, this king is just an ordinary person!"

Chapter 69 Loyalty?

While Zhu Song was sitting with Song Minglin in the Jiaxing Mansion, waiting for Geng Xuan to come to find excitement, he was in the imperial palace in Nanjing City.

Zhu Yunwen summoned Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and other close officials, as well as the tall and powerful Wei Guogong Xu Huizu and other generals.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen was not sitting on the dragon chair, but frowning, pacing back and forth in a small hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Sitting next to Xu Huizu, the lower head on the left, is a man in his [-]s who wears a first-grade official robe. His name is Li Jinglong, and he is the son of Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong.

Two years ago, when the King of Yan raised an incident, Li Jinglong paid homage to the general and led the imperial army to conquer the King of Yan. As a result, he was defeated by the Yan army in Zhengcunba and Baigou River successively, and hundreds of thousands of troops were lost. After the defeat, he fled back to Nanjing and is now responsible for patrolling the defense of the city.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen wandering around the small hall irritably, Li Jinglong's eyes flashed, and said: "Long live, what happened today is too strange, Zhu Shaoqian and General Zhu are hereditary earls, both generations have received the favor of the emperor, and it is even more important to my court." If you are loyal, how can you give birth to a rebellious heart?"

"Yes, long live!" Qi Tai also said, "Today's incident must have been framed by King Yan, and Prefect Zhang was just deceived by villains!"

Zhu Yunwen stopped in his tracks, glanced at Huang Zicheng, who was sitting on the upper right hand side, who had been silent all this time, and said, "Huang Qing's family, what do you think?"

Huang Zicheng seemed to have expected that Zhu Yunwen would ask him a long time ago, he first stood up and saluted Zhu Yunwen, and then said:

"Long live, I think that the king of Yan is so treacherous and cunning, this matter will definitely not be so simple! Zhang Zhifu once said before that Lord Zhu will definitely turn against him. Based on what I know about Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu is always cautious, so Zhang Zhifu The words that I said, I am somewhat disbelieving."

"Master Huang's words are wrong!" Fang Xiaoru stood up and retorted: "After being summoned by Long Live, I have already sent people to Zhenjiang to investigate! I found that in Zhenjiang, apart from rumors that Lord Zhu will rebel In addition, there is another completely opposite message!"

"Oh? What's the message?" Zhu Yunwen moved slightly, and said, "Please tell me in detail!"

"Another message..." Fang Xiaoru thought for a while, and said, "Some people in Zhenjiang are spreading rumors that General Zhu is loyal and courageous, and is determined to live and die with Zhenjiang. Even if he dies outside the city, he will never let him go." Yan Jun stepped into Zhenjiang half a step! What makes me feel incredible is that while this kind of rumor is spreading, there are many small stories, and the protagonist of the small story is naturally Zhu Shaoqian!"

Speaking of this, Fang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, and said: "Two completely different rumors are spreading wildly in Zhenjiang, and even some soldiers stationed in Zhenjiang have begun to distrust Zhu Shaoqian!"

"Huang Qing's family, in your opinion, what's the purpose of this?" Zhu Yunwen narrowed his eyes with suspicion.

The other Jianwen ministers and generals all turned their eyes to Huang Zicheng.

Huang Zicheng also started to pace in the small hall, and after a while he said: "The two diametrically opposite rumors are definitely not groundless, and there must be behind the scenes. What I care about most now is that these two rumors Who exactly spread the news, where did it come from, and why are you releasing such rumors?"

"Is there still a need to guess?" Fang Xiaoru sneered, and said, "Who else can there be besides Yan Wang Zhu Di?"

"But...what's the use of this?" Li Jinglong was a little puzzled, "If you talk about the first rumor, it can be concluded that King Yan released it, but the second news...why would he do this?"

"Master Li, why bother?" Fang Xiaoru shrugged his shoulders and said, "Master Li may not know something. Zhu Shaoqian worked with the King of Yan in his early years, and the relationship between them is very close. Perhaps he, Zhu Shaoqian, has long been in collusion with the King of Yan. , just to win the trust of the imperial court, just spread such rumors on purpose!"

Zhu Yunwen nodded, seeming to agree with Fang Xiaoru's point of view.

Grandpa Zu, who had been silent all this time, spoke. He frowned and said: "Long live, I think otherwise! According to what I know about Master Zhu, he is not such a ignorant person. The two rumors this time , Most likely it was arranged by King Yan, he just wanted to use this to inspire people's hearts, and at the same time provoke the relationship between Lord Zhu and our court."

"That's right!" Qi Tai said: "This is clearly King Yan's countermeasure. As the saying goes, 'you don't need to be suspicious, you don't need to be suspicious'. Since His Highness has chosen Master Zhu to guard Zhenjiang, you can't doubt him, especially at this critical moment. Time! After all, with Master Zhu's reputation in Zhenjiang, once the battle changes, the entire Zhenjiang garrison may riot!"

Well, the people in the small hall were divided into two groups: one group of people headed by Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru held the attitude of replacing Zhu Shaoqian; the other group headed by Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong believed in Zhu Shaoqian and did not advocate A change of generals.

What is more strange is that this time Qi Tai, who has always worn a pair of trousers with Fang Xiaoru and others, is on Xu Huizu's side.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the two groups of people who were clearly separated, and suddenly became uncertain.

"Long live, let's make an order soon!" Fang Xiaoru urged, "King Yan's rebellion is on the north bank of the Yangtze River. He only launched a few attacks, and we lost [-] troops. This is all Zhu Shaoqian's responsibility..."

"Long live, it's a big taboo for military strategists to change generals just before the battle, so don't do it!" Xu Huizu dissuaded.

"That's better than Zhu Shaoqian colluding with the King of Yan and giving Zhenjiang away!" Huang Zicheng retorted, "Master Xu, I know that the eldest lady of your Xu family is the concubine of the King of Yan, and you defend Zhu Shaoqian so hard , can the next officer..."

"Huang Zicheng, you are presumptuous!" Xu Huizu glared at Huang Zicheng angrily, and said, "My Xu family has been loyal to the Zhu family and the Ming court since my father! You have slandered me like this, and I swear that I will not divorce you!"

"you……"

Huang Zicheng wanted to say something else, but Zhu Yunwen interrupted them directly: "Okay! How about it, Zhenjiang is still guarded by Zhu Shaoqian, but Qiqing's family, you lead the Jingwei to deploy defenses in the Jurong area. By the way, tell Geng Bingwen A decree, let him go to the edge of Nanjing to deploy defenses, the two of you must always pay attention to Zhenjiang's movements, in case of accidents!"

"The minister leads the order!"
